@Wai That's how it's done! Great job. I see you're playing a Cordoba as well. What model is that?

@Derek I'm blown away that you've only been working on this a couple days!
Fantastic job! I've been working on Sanz for years and can't seem to get it together.

Re: WEEK 2: La Guitarra Espanola!
@Eric Phillips thanks, yeah, I saw some right away the first week. It's like everyone had all this pent-up Sanz within them and finally had an outlet to express it!

@Daniel Beltrán I liked the tempo, and I think you did a good job with it. At that tempo it kind of reminded me of The Entertainer by Scot Joplin. My experience with a foot stool didn't end well.…
